Filmmaker Prashanth Neel corrects some mistakes in the first part of this sequel, which is sure to be electrifying – but there’s also a bit of a stretch in the middle.

Spoiler ahead…

There’s Something Odd But Gorgeous About It KGF Franchisees that they no longer make such films. That they no longer imagine scenes driven by absolute madness. after all, KGF Movies are written on steroids.

i have a moment KGF: Chapter 2, where the Rocky Bhai (an amazing renown, bathed and cleaned up in a manly orgy) pulls out a machine gun to blow up a police station under the guise of a “field test”. With a cigarette hanging from his lips, he fires aimlessly to show his might as bullets zoom past the station and everything in between. Bullets of bullets hit the ground and the brothers move in slow motion and light their cigarette at gunpoint with an equally electrifying background score by Ravi Basrur.

There, in that one shot, Prashant Nile Highlights what KGF Movies are for: To create a quirky cinematic experience, where we barely have time to ponder logic and comprehension. there is In college a way of looking KGF It works for you and that is to participate in the madness it has to offer – from scene to scene; one set piece to another; One giddy stunt choreography for the next.

Prashanth Neel’s most astonishing achievement is the marriage of influential figures of Hollywood motif – Coppola, Scorsese, Mel Gibson to Peter Jackson and George Miller – in which the spice flourishes from Indian filmmakers. This union of the two worlds is powerful and terrifying, even if it remains purely a possibility. Let me explain this marriage with the most terrifying sight KGF Chapter 2 Which is related to brother but not about him.

Reena (played by Srinidhi Shetty) Tries to tell the brother that she is pregnant with his child. She doesn’t tell him directly, but hints that the brother, who is busy with business, doesn’t hold up. Now, the usual way is to tell Reena that she is going to be a mother or that the brothers are going to be a father. Instead, she says, ” Amma Var Porang,A callback to the brother’s emotional struggle with the memories of his mother. Not to mention the Lowry score in the background. I choked. it is Spice and it’s pure.

Let’s think about it, the only emotional stake that is anchoring both KGF The movies feature Bhai Ki Maa’s agony, which is again a return to a popular trope from the masala universe of bygone eras – but. There is something different about Prashanth Neel’s idea of ​​masala as compared to SS Rajamouli’s which, we must admit, brought a much needed renaissance to the masala tradition of Indian cinema. Neil’s films are more focused on the extreme, while Rajamouli’s films are visionary.

Speaking of tradition, casting Sanjay Dutt as Adheera is indeed a remarkable decision. Perhaps no other actor can do justice to the macho rage-ridden film world, which once used to be the poster boy of hyper-masculinity. remember Architectural, villain, But the reason for including Dutt appears as if Prashanth Neel wanted the actor to reprise his menacing look as Kancha. the path of fire, However when Yash and Dutt face off, it feels like the latter has passed on to the super-masculine muscular man he is known for in the former. Which in itself could have been a fitting conclusion to celebrating the Angry Young Man heroes of the bygone era.

KGF: Chapter 2 Begins from where Rocky bhai breaks the shackles of 20,000 men, women and children in KGF and ends the first part with proclaiming himself the Messiah. Apart from the addition of three new villains in Adheera, Ramika Sen and Inayat Khaleel, there is nothing new in the way things are handled in the second installment. all those things that were flat and derivative KGF: Chapter 1 Will continue to happen, in the sequel.

The film also suffers from thin writing, although the dialogues in Tamil (written by Ashok Kumar) are superb. There’s a line about a hard rock and a hammer hitting you like a bullet. First, we get a scene about a boy born and raised in KGF, who joins Bhai’s camp for training as an armed guard. When his mother (played by Eeswari Rao) advises him against it, she reminds him that they were capable of doing it. Namaz In the first place was due to brother. The irony of the scene screams at you. They all remain loyal to the brother as long as they maintain the social order of that place. In this sense, the freedom they think they have is controllable in nature. but KGF: Chapter 2 This is not about thinking. It’s all about high-quick stunts and oh boy, are they wild (the stunt director is Anbarivu).

There is hardly any dominant woman in this festival of male toxicity. Of course, this is not a film for women. This is clearly mentioned in the introduction scene of Rocky Bhai, where Reena is brought to KGF without his consent. This is not the troublesome part. When she asks for the reason, the brothers say that she is his “entertainment”. Reena’s character is so silly and dumb that she is an insult to all the one-note female characters in our masala cinema. Raveena Tandon as Prime Minister Ramika Sen looks deadly; Not so much his character.

The familiar problems of the first part – the quick way to edit the scenes, the near-dark background score and the tiring back-and-forth narration worshiping the hero (this time by Prakash Raj) – resurface in part two. You see the weight of the narrative in the middle part as Prashant Neel struggles with the political chapter of Rocky Bhai. all these make you feel if KGF: Chapter 1 Felt more whole and healthy. One more chapter? I’m out
